Olympia Snowe: “I just don't sense an element of urgency in this process.”

By the end of this decade, I believe that every school in America should have 1 gigabit of connectivity.

In closing, libraries are vital community technology hubs, and we simply cannot allow inadequate bandwidth to be the limiting factor for what our students and our nations can achieve.

We would not have connectivity and all that it brings to our schools and libraries if it were not for E-Rate.

Thank you. I will be a fast talker. And I want to thank all of you for your very impressive testimony.
